Another day, another farewell
Last night, after a long day of painting in Fernie, Mike and I sped our way back to cranny and I was given a fabulous farewell deck party with some of Cranbrook's very finest and best..amplified with much homemade wine, copious cheese and nibblies, laughter, tears and stories...
The walk home was, I confess, not without a little weaving. :)
In other news...W is on Grad number 2 today.
She didnt bat an eye. She is on the road to Kindergarten and can hardly wait.

Hair Straight Back
A whirlwind of weeks and deadlines rushing by.
We have completed our cd release concert (last weekend)
I then spent a week being sick (blech), which, I MUST say is extremely inconvenient at this juncture!
This weekend we finished our Garage sale while our kids spent most of the day living it up with our newlywed friends Wendy and Tim at the Sam Steele Parade. The weather held out, we had tonnes of business, and even had cinnamon buns and specialty coffees! That evening, post Garage Sale clean-up, dump runs and Sally Ann drop-offs, saw us at a wienie roast and impromptu soccer game with great friends and all our sundry dogs.
And now, we are ALMOST done drywalling the bedroom and bathroom, and just about to finish up the bathroom lighting and fixtures. Today, Father's Day, we started with Cinny buns panfried in butter and loaded with cream cheese, and a hike up into the Eager Hills. Mike received a variety of coupons, including (but not limited to)
-from Finn
"good for a hike" (which was redeemed, as mentioned!)
"good for a story that I read to you from the newspaper"
-from Wren
"good for Snuggly time with your Snuggle Bug"
"good for some good jokes"
The next two weeks look to be very full of packing, prepping and farewell suppers with friends. For me, this is the kind of the surreal phase of the moving...one day there's a room full of stuff, a room full of memories and a sence of place and comfort; the next day, it's all packed in boxes, and half brought to the Sally Ann. One day we walk down familiar streets full of neighbours that we know well, and with whom we have many stories to share; the next day-its all unfamiliar terrain, strange faces, and the sweet smell of adventure!
In the meantime, I feel like we are thinning out.
Getting down to the minimums.
Hanging on to all the very essential and truest parts of our Cranbrook existence.
And wow-is it ever energizing!
a few pics..

Kite Flying and other ventures in going with the flow
Well, looks like we have a new rental home secured (see above) and in the process have found again, how great it is to just go with the flow. This little house is only 2.5 blocks from the kids school and 4 blocks from downtown (and my new job-p/t at the green petal that begins in mid-July!!!)
Seemed fitting that Finn and Wren did their own new little adventure in kite flying today.
After a week of rain, a house filled with renos, and all of us piled like puppies on top of one another, a stressed and easily provoked mama-it was so perfect to spend today in Sunny and beautiful Fernie, picking up a new/used bunkbed for the kids, and trying on a few of the great parks this town has to offer!
There was much shrieking fun, cloud gazing and just "being" all day. Mike and his dad were back in Cranbrook installing new tub, moving toilet and vanity. We came home and Mike presented the kids with a great new box (from the new tub) wherein they played with Markers, and fortifications (dill pickle chips and fruity pop) for quite a lengthy while.
me? i sipped gin.
A very good day.
sandbox where wren and finn build an entire house for Banjo, who didnt really "get it" and just kept helping them dig.Ahhh, the terrier instinct is strong with this one.
Good thing he prefers sand...and not grass too much.
Finn with a first go at kite-ing
just t show the view....boy, kite, mountain.wow.
...back at the ranch(er)...final install of vanity-before the water is turned back on!
sharing a loo moment-Mike and Pops.a few little movies:

Couch Surfing in our own house!!
Well, dude. the good times are rolling!
This is our first night as gypsies in our own quarters.
Kids are camping out in our room, and Mike and I are on couch and floor in the living room...and will be thus for a week or two. Also-the toilet is now in the former bedroom and well, who knows where the bedroom actually is! exciting times, these.
Pics to follow...in the daylight!
Less Jolly--we have just heard that our "almost-for sure" house rental in Fernie, has just been sold, and so we are, presently, seeking new digs for our summer move. I have taken this task on with much zeal and vim, and after the shock waves ebbed and flowed, I am ready stake my claim in Fernie this week and see if i can find us a new nest. I know my faults, but when it comes to adjusting to change, well, that's not one of 'em. just saying....that's where you can tell that this hair colour ain't not dye job.
Red-headed ad nauseum.
in other news-Garage Sale Saturday!!!
more soon.
